A DRJGGlST'S MISTAKE.
Asick Mans Wife Disreaards The Druggists
"a Advice and So Saves the Life Of
~. Her Hshand. -

I am a wood carver by trade and 1t is
out of my line to write letters; but my
> wife thought it was no more than right
that should let you know what your
remedy has done for me, and / think
SO too.
live in East 18th street, west of
Third avenue. and have lived there for
about twenty-three years, where own
real estate. Up to the time am about
to mention 1 had been strong, well
man. There. was always more or less
malaria in the neighborhood, but / had
not personally suffered from it. 1t was
in 1880 had my first attack. 1t came
on as such attacks commonly do, with
headaches, loss of appetite and ambi-
ton, chilly sensations with slight fever
afterwards, disposition to yawn and
stretch, and so forth. was employed
at that time ut Killians & Brothers,
furniture manufacturers, in West SOD
street. hoped the attack would wear
off, but as it didn't consulted a we'll
known and able physician III Morris
ania, who gave me q'!inine and told me
what to do. 1 can sum up the first four
and a half or five years of my expert
ence in few words. Occasionally
was laid up for day or two, but on
the whole stuck to my work. kept
taking quinine, in larger doses from
year to year, and kept on getting weak
err and worse. slowly but surely, all the
time. My trouble was now we'll de-
fined and its symptoms were steady and
REGULAR. Z had dumb ague in its worst
form, and, it was grinding me down in
spite of all that l could do or the doc
tors could do!. 1t held ME liz n grip like
fire in q burning coal mine. The poison
had gone all through and over me and
nothing was able to touch it. l was
fast losing flesh and strength, and about
March, 1884, l knocked off work entire
ly and went home to be down sick, and
to. die for all could tell. ran down so
rapidly that l soon became unable to
walk any distance. Later l went from
room to roonl' in my own house only by
friends holding me up by each arm. The
doses, of quinine were increased until
ofEcte too& thirty grains at &c dose. The
effects of this tremendous stimulation
was to make me nearly wild. 1t broke
my sleep all up. and often walked the
floor, or staggered about it, all night
long. scarcely able to bear any noises
or even human speech. My temper
was extremely irritable. AS to food,
enc. of my little children would eat
more in meal than | could in day.
1 would order food and then turn from
it in disgust. 1 lived on quininc and
other stimulants and on Dlysclf. like a
bear in water The quininc set my
head in, whirl. and the liquor-given
as medicine-made my stomach so
sick coaH not tolerate it
From tz5 pounds (my proper weight)
ran down to 81 pounds-thc weight

than a skeleton.
If anybody hail taken a hdtchet and
knocked me do,Cn and killed me should
hare been better oft.
During the latter part of this period,
early in 1886, my physician said:
miller, there's no use in my taking
any more money of you. l can't do you
any good. might pour pounds of quiz
nine down your throat and it wouldn't
help YOU"
On the strength of this gave up the
use of quinine altogetEeI, and made up
my mind to do nothiIg more and take
my chances.
Three weeks afterSards-about the
last of May-my wife saw an advertise
mcnt of Kaskine in a New York paper.
She told me of it. said: "Stuff and
it can't do me any good"
But she went to druggists, nevcrthe-
less. to get it. The druggist advised
her against Kaskine: he said it was
nothing but sugar; that she ought not
to throw away her money on it. &c.
He said he didn't keep it, but could get
it if she insisted on having it. Turn
ing away in disgust my wife spoke to
our nciShbor. Mr.. A. G. Hegewald.
who got her IL bottle at drug store in
Sixth avenue.
Almost against my will. and without
the least faith, l began taking it. In
one week I was better. l began to
sleep. stopped "s"eing ghosts" 1
began to have an appetite and to gain
strength. This was now the first of
June, 1886, and by the end of that
month was back at my bench at c. 2.
Smiths scroll saving factory in 10th
street, where l work now.
Since then 1 have never lost day
from sickness. Taking Kaskinc only,
about forty pellets in four equal doses
a day, 1 continued to gain. The ma
laria appeared to be Killed III my sys-
TEN, and now I've got back my old
wcight-175 pounds-and my old
strength to labor. am an astonish-
mcnt to myself and to my friends, and
if Kaskine did not do this don't know
what did. Tho only greater thing it
could do would be to bring dead man
10 life. FREDERICK A. MILLER,

We submit that the aboye astonish-

table men, is deserving of thorough
and candid investigation by thinking
people. And we further submit that
when druggists turn away customers
by falsifving the character of n remedy
because they do not happen to have it
on hand, they do n great wrong. II
this afflicted man had not diSrcgarded

doubt have been in his grave.
